Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 6, November 2025.As wind energy development expands across the Great Plains, there is potential to adversely affect species that require undisturbed tracts of native grasslands, such as the lesser prairie‐chicken Tympanuchus pallidicinctus. Effects of wind development on lesser prairie‐chicken (LEPC) movement and demographic rates have been minimal when turbines are ...

Developing New Methods to Quantify Stress in Wildlife Using Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry [PDF]
, 2011 Stress levels in wildlife species are an accurate indicator of an animal’s well-being and can reflect decreases in habitat quality. Stress levels can be measured by the presence of the stress response hormones cortisol, cortisone, and corticosterone ...

Anthropogenic Factors Affecting Common Raven Occurrence and Depredation of Artificial Nests Within Greater Sage‐Grouse Habitat in Southern Utah [PDF]
, 2023 Certain species of wildlife are more generalist and adaptive than others. These species often flourish when supported by human activities that provide additional food and habitat for them.

Vital Rates, Population Trends, and Habitat-Use Patterns of a Translocated Greater Sage-Grouse Population: Implications for Future Translocations [PDF]
, 2013 Translocations have been used as a management strategy to successfully augment declining native wildlife populations. Greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) population declines on Anthro Mountain, Utah prompted managers to ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.Abstract Primates, 69% of which are threatened with extinction, are the third most specious order of mammals. We used primates as model taxa to examine the umbrella effects of primates on ecosystem services and the protection of other vertebrates and seed plants in Yunnan Province, China.

Environmental drivers of Greater Sage‐grouse population trends over 25 years in Idaho, USA
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract Greater Sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations have been in decline for decades across much of the US Intermountain West. However, findings from 25 years of lek counts in Idaho indicate that some populations are stable or even increasing.

Synthesizing the ecological impacts of disturbance on wildlife in pinyon‐juniper ecosystems
Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2025.Abstract Pinyon and juniper ecosystems in the interior western United States are undergoing changes due to wildfire, drought, climate change, and associated disturbance agents (e.g., insect outbreak), while also infilling within some existing woodlands and expanding into other ecosystems (e.g., sagebrush). These multiple, often interacting disturbances

Gut microbiome–diet interactions in wild birds
Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 5, September 2025.Birds show global declines, and understanding the relationship between avian diet and fitness can both answer basic questions in physiological ecology and inform conservation efforts. Diet‐induced changes to the gut microbiome, the collection of microorganisms and their functional genes and metabolites inside the gut, may be of particular importance to
